DataMapper is just a helper type, you don't need to use it at all. All DataMapper does is use reflection and other tricks so you write one line of code to copy a bunch of property values instead of writing one line of code for each property value.

I often have code that doesn't use DataMapper at all. Or that uses DataMapper to copy simple properties, along with code to copy a few other properties that are more complex.
